Notes from ACMC Artistic Director Michelle Schumann
What’s great about it: “Phenomenal,” “brilliant,” “astonishing,” “gripping,” and “breathtaking.” These are the words that have been used to describe the Pacifica Quartet, and with multiple Grammys under their belt, they will join us in Austin on July 17 to perform landmark works by Franz Joseph Haydn, Jennifer Higdon, and Antonin Dvorak. Hearing one of the world’s finest quartets play music of the masters will be unforgettable.
Why you should go: When we had to forgo plans for a live Festival in 2020, missing the Pacifica Quartet saddened me ..read more

Notes from ACMC Artistic Director Michelle Schumann
What’s great about it: The Book of Longing represents the mind-melding of two of the greatest musical masterminds of our time: Leonard Cohen and Philip Glass. Cohen’s poetry is personal, passionate, brutally honest, spiritual, and irreverent. When asked about the style of music, whether it was classical, or jazz, or cabaret, or pop, Cohen replied, “It’s Glassical.” Indeed, Glass brings his quintessential sound to the poems while illuminating the text in gorgeous ways throughout.
Why you should go: It’s a rarity! Our chamber concerts are usual ..read more
